USB connection to TinySA fails using QtTinySA on Pi


 

I'm trying to use a Pi 4B to view/control TinySA.
I've sucessfully installed QtTinySA on a clean image and it works just fine with a TinySA Ultra+
I've had a TinySA in my bag as a "don't leave home without it" device for a few years and tried connecting it instead of the Ultra.
I can see it if I run lsusb so there is a connection, but it is not recognised by QtTinySA
It does connect to a Win PC and i have updated it to 1.4.175
I've reread the QtTinySA Wiki and I can't see any reference that it only supports Ultra.
Am I missing something obvious?
?
I'm keen to see if I can develop into a remote access Spectrum Monitoring device. We have a fleet of them based on other hardware.?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Peter


 

QtTinySA should work with all genuine hardware versions and the arm64 binary works (and was compiled on) on my Pi4.? I only have the Ultra so I can't test other versions.
There has been the occasional firmware version that didn't work.? I have not tested firmware v1_4_175 but I have tested 177, 189, 193 and 199 which all work, as do a lot of the earlier versions.
??
From 177 onwards, Erik updated the firmware for me to allow the 'scanraw' command to loop and scan continuously.? This made a noticeable improvement to the QtTinySA scanning speed, so unless you have some particular reason for not updating to a later version there is an advantage in being on 177 or later.

I am happy to help more but this is Erik's forum so please raise the issue on
??
Please post the output of the terminal screen.? In terms of 'remote access', I use my Pi4 running QtTinySA over 'tigerVNC' and it works very well on my gigabit LAN.
